BUSHRANGER Collection

Bushrangers are one of the icons of Australian identity, and it's no surprise that if you look carefully, you'll find LGBTIQA+ people in their ranks. From Captain Moonlite who went to the gallows wearing a ring of his lover's hair to the cross dressing Kitty Morgan, who the papers named "one of the most notorious and wicked females that ever lived" to the women who bucked the expectations of their gender to ride, to rob and to escape, here you'll find bushrangers all colours of the LGBTIQA+ rainbow.
